Mounting a flatscreen above a fireplace. Thinking of utilizing this to shield against heat from chimney and below .. would this work?

If you are protecting it from the radiant heat coming off of the chimney/exhaust - yes. This will work very well in terms of blocking nearly all of the radiated heat. You may have to get creative with mounting/attaching the pad... I have a wooden chest that sits 5-6" from my wood stove. Prior to using this pad - i was having to move the chest every time the stove was on full blast or run the stove at lower temps.... This lets me keep it where of is and not worry about or the contents becoming a fire hazard.

I wouldn't, unless you coated it some kind of weatherproofing for wood. If you live in a mild climate and it would always be protected, it might work.

You could probably still do it, mine does not get that hot undernesth even with a large fire. Would have to watch out for sparks though. Sparks and hot cinders can still pop out through screening. Another recommendation is to get a good cover if you dont already have one, i have mine covered with heavy canvas that was cheaper than buying brand name. If you have any other questions, let me know. Very happy with my Landmann!

It has two screw holes on the top of it...the front glass and panel is larger than the fireplace itself so you cannot see the screws when mounted..you can see them when standing up close to it...heat also projects directly from the top so don't put under a TV if you plan on the heater working ...it sticks off the wall pretty far so I recessed mine into the wall, and don't use the heat...it has the best looking fire I have ever seen compared to all other electric fireplaces...hope this helps

Grace, We recommend against putting your TV or any electronic device over a fireplace. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

This was used to cover a flat screen tv mounted on an outside wall but it is under a patio cover. The cover has worked well for us.

That should not be too much of a problem. The top shroud should deflect direct heat way. Just dont put anything too close to it.

I wouldn't use it too close to a fireplace. It is metal and will get hot to the touch.

I PRESUME this would be ok, as the heat is driven by a fan, so no "fire" heat comes in contact with the top. That being said, we have never tested this theory, since the unit is used in our basement.

Yes. It should work fine. We use it over gas flames but a hot plate on top of a stove should be fine.

Yes, I have used mine for that purpose. Just watch that the wind does not blow out the flame so keep an eye on it. I put a metal wind screen against mine if it's a little breezy . It will simmer !

Probably not a good idea. The whole top is vented for cooling and may not be strong enough to support the weight of a larger TV. Bob B.

it should work with the mesh screen and you may have to add extra magnets or whateverto seal off all of the fireplace opening

I don't know for sure, but the way that it's designed, with the burning gas exhaust on the vertical top end, I would have to say no. May not be safe. May not draft fumes properly out of the unit, may overheat the box cause a problem start a fire etc. I would use it as it was designed to be used, vertically mounted. I can be stored flat while not in use, then easily hung by two screws while being used. Takes two minutes to mount and unmount.

It had mounts to the wall and is sturdy. I think it would be a good option for your fireplace. Good luck.

I don't see why it wouldn't work that way, but I didn't mount it high like that. Remember Heat rises so if it is high, you'll probably have to turn your thermostat to a higher setting to get it to come on.

I dont think it will be a very good idea because of the heat from the fireplace. You can buy the tilt one ( it is mounted closer to the wall than this model). Hope this helps. After install this model, the screen is about 7 inches from the wall.
